Young man, I think you've done an acceptional job on hair care. Being a seasonal stylist for 29 year's myself, I don't see too many people on here caring, or sharing the correct way on how to care for their hair or other's. So God bless your gift. I pray many blessings upon you. stay humble. Keep doing what your doing. God bless son.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Thank you so much.

[@6Morningdove6]

Hey cousin! it makes me happy that you like his method because I am so taking notes.

[@6Morningdove6]

This is Toyia.

[@lisamarie4048]

Just leaving the water to sink in for a bit made all the difference, I'm surprised.. it such a simple thing. Thanks x

[@meekaaa4206]

yes but i think it has a lot to do with your hair's porosity if you have low porosity hair it will take longer to absorb water and products so letting the water take time to absorb might be a great option but high porosity hair will absorb the water very quickly so this step may be unnecessary

[@JohnBillow]

@@meekaaa4206 yeah but what if the water evaporates before it gets to absorb into your hair

[@blackgothgoddess3164]

I do the same with oils. I let the water kinda sink in, then slightly detangle, then a small amount of oil I'll smooth into the section and let it sink in until it's soft, and then I'll use a wooden brush to smooth everything in before twisting it up.

[@ClassyDdiamond]

I forgot how beautiful your natural hair was 🥰

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Oh thank you!

[@nstruebluey39]

I called myself doing an oil rinse last week on my hair. After watching this video, I learned what the mistake was. I spritzed too much water on, making my hair soaking wet, and added on the oil. Now I will lightly mist with water, add leave in, then the oil :) Thanks friend for making this video!

[@DivaSlimsDown]

wow this video was extremely helpful. especially about not using too much product.

[@marvinbosk5319]

[@JennJackson]

Your hair has grown so much and looks GREAT!

[@tiffanyn.3097]

Can I just say that I started to do this like 5 years ago when I was transitioning and my hair is now bra length! I was consistent and did this every week as well as getting my regular trims, and just like that my hair just kept growing and growing and is now so healthy! Thank you!

[@bellaladonna]

Thank you for doing a demo on moisturizing your hair - Every video I saw from other you tubers talked about moisturizing but no actual demonstration

[@AfrikanHairGod]

You are welcome thanks for watching!

[@spunkinsight6612]

I remember that a year ago I didn't even know how to detangle my hair. I didn't believe it can grow so much... Thanks to people like you I learned a lot and I see a huge difference. Keep doing it

[@ImJustJoJo]

Thanks for this video. I have a son who is just 4 months and I plan to NOT cut his hair until he gets older and decides for himself. I plan to let his hair grow out naturally.

[@littlebabybugjones2676]

same here! my son's 2 and a half, and he hasn't had a hair cut since last year, but we don't plan to ever cut his hair unless he asks for it. his hair is growing nicely and is long enough to plait now :D i wish more black women let their boys hair grow. i think it instills a healthy view of black hair in the boys for them to embrace it as much as the girls.

[@samiranicole2025]

I thought i was low porosity hair until i watched this cause my hair was so dry. But now i know i just need to let the water sit in my hair for about 30 secs and then add my oil and cream. AFRICAN HAIR GOD FOR SURE!

[@melanie_carmella]

Thanks for this series. I had to refer back to the basics. Tried this and my hair is shiny, moistured and defined. I'm shocked that a little oil can transform your hair. The oil somehow encouraged my curls to separate and I had day 3 volume on day 1 without any frizz. Thank you

[@christasoto08]

Thanks for pointing out that your hair is normal porosity and giving a source for low porosity hair naturals! Great video!

[@dionnefaulkes]

I love your tips, especially the advise to leave water in hair for better moister. I mostly avoid tutorials from men do to the fact that testosterone makes men hair grow differently and way faster than women.

[@lisamarie4048]

This is better than most womens hair videos. I'm gonna try this method tonight. thanks :)

[@TiMalice2009]

I agree.

[@ljljlj9263]

💯💯💯

[@basscamel9446]

+49jubilee you're obsessed 😆

[@corazoncubano5372]

49jubilee Plenty of guys here in NYC have back length hair. His hair length is a normal length. Hair length has nothing to do with masculinity.

[@basscamel9446]

He never said he was not gay. What are you getting at anyway?

[@declan-kayodekeegan1598]

I've got low porosity, naturally dry type 4 hair and I use exactly the method you just showed and it works for me. I wet my hair with water every even when I'm not washing it. I've a lot of improvement in growth and texture.

[@jobenjamin9978]

Thank you for your contribution to this post. Struggling with dryness. Will incorporate what Narada suggested. It reminds me that back in the day we did not have all these damn products, but hair was healthy and long.

[@sputnixful]

I've been contemplating on going all natural for a little while now. Just checking out different sources to help in my decision. You have been more informative in this video than most of the 20 videos I've seen before. Thanks for your time in these videos. And your hair is amazing.

[@nmcelroy03]

I love that you actually explain your steps and give practical tips and tricks. You are easy to follow and the advise you have given has saved me from massive hair struggles and from wanting to go back to a relaxer. Thanks so much!

[@arbitrarylib]

Thank you so much. My mom used to say ' just grease your hair' and I did and didn't understand why it was always dry. No one teaches how to take care of our hair.. it's so weird. But thank you for being a light.

[@aliciamaynard2890]

Sooo... I just learned more in this one, shortish video than watching hundreds of natural hair videos from other vloggers!

[@IAmBrandi1525]

Thanks for the love my dearest. I appreciate you boodad !!!

[@AfrikanHairGod]

^_^

[@IAmBrandi1525]

Alec Sad I went to the website and the products do look interesting. Thanks for sharing the info !

[@alyssat.258]

I learned more from your video than all the videos I have watched over the last 3 years. Thank you!

[@Prettiuneekdesigns]

I am just waiting on those clips to hit you. I like that tip about letting the water absorb first. I have noticed when I did this that the styler etc went on better and the white look was not white for long. You have lovely hair. Thanks for sharing.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

You know the clips NEVER actually hit me in the face. I'm usually waiting on it too cuz sometimes I forget I still have them on.

[@waltbaby08]

I have been doing that moisture absorption method for almost a year now and it has been the only thing to work on my hair, when fighting dryness. I swear by it.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

IT DOES!!!

[@Ms_Introvert_4_Life]

You are the first person I've seen put the oil before the leave in....cool....will have to try this once.

[@808sandheartbreak2]

The stretching method here is genius too! Thank you for this.

[@tlhb234]

I have tried everything.. This is the BEST treatment EVER for my hair. It hasn't been dry yet!!!! Thanks 👏👏👏👏

[@nicklh186]

This is low-key satisfying

[@nezzylearns]

Your advice about keeping your hair taut while untangling your hair helps so much. Thank you

[@HollijoyJohnson]

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I truly appreciate this video, it's one of my favorite. Thank you, thank you sweetheart. Here's a tip for those reading this post...spend that wait time meditating/praying/deep breathing/...or just smiling at yourself cause you are beautiful!

[@Beyonslay4]

Going through all these videos and I’m so glad I stumbled on this playlist after you shared it with someone else. This is informative, straight to the point and clear. Thank you!!!

[@MeAndMyNailz-ul6zh]

Glad to see this. Me being new to trying to go natural. My mistake so far is trying too many products. After washing and conditioning (with shea moisture) my hair dried in seconds when I took the towel off. This morning I clarified and went back to my old products. As soon as i towel dried i bust out the softee and went to work. First time doing this but my hair feels so much better.

[@Kemi116]

It was such a pleasure watching you do your hair, it's so beautiful and healthy looking, you truly have good hair, love it!!

[@shamalielouis4609]

I've been doing wayyy too much with my hair n now I know. Thank u!

[@mFabulous14]

Aww i kinda wanted to see the finished results after you untwist it

[@SanaaJadeCruz]

Clear concise and eloquent I'm subbed

[@ladyewo6778]

Great tip on using minimal product to avoid excessive product build up in a short amount of time. I was guiltyyyyyy.

[@shaquillascott]

My hair and your hair are very similar ......I'm gone try your method.....Your hair has grown so much!!!!! You are one of my favorite natural hair people on the tube.....

[@MrSynhair]

Thank you for the tips!!!!!!! I will try this from now on except for overdoing the moisture

[@Chrissy_T85]

OMG! So you have given the most valuable, detailed, and not to forget interesting tips/video on how to moisturize natural hair!! Very helpful!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@chaosswa-ee-ty5911]

Your passion for hair is real. And you look the same.

[@yayababy81]

I love how you shout out other great youtubers!

[@sexyruthalicious]

I normally don't make comments often on youtube but I just wanted to say your videos are very helpful and thank you very much for these tips. These tips makes so much sense. Have a wonderful day and may the Lord bless you always.

[@TirsaTalks]

Very helpful and useful! Thanks a bunch! I love how you shoutout other KZbinrs! It's true that we should all just use all of our resources, it's not a 'subscriber competition' but just people helping each other out. Keep up the good work! :)

[@Njoofene]

The good old days.

[@Toni8225]

I really learned how to care for my hair. Thanks for sharing.***** five star Great voice tone.

[@makesia74gmail]

Love, LOVE your tips. I'm 9 months into my transition (just couldn't bring myself to do the BC) My 2 strand twists start out at 14-16 inches and when I let them go, they shrivel up to like 6"...talk about shrinkage, LOL. Anyhoo this did the trick for me. I LOVED my hair the next day! Thanks so much.

[@MozeleyTribe]

You speaking facts bro. I thought I was the only dude lurking these hair care tips.

[@NatalieMcGrath]

Great tips! Looking at this thumbnail, thought you used elastic bands at the base... never thought to braid first then twist. Such a simple solution! Thank you!

[@lavender3052]

You have amazing hair. You do a better job than some women. Keep grinding. AWESOME!!!

[@TRACY5910]

I will agree that water, oil & some type of leave in moisturizer will help keep your moisturize... but you should do water, leave in moisturizer then the oil... because the oil is like a sealant & will seal in the your moisturizer that you have applied helping it to stay moisture longer.

[@Kuwkay]

Not when you're using the LOC method

[@TRACY5910]

Im not speaking of locking, I'm speaking keeping natural hair healthy & moisturized on a daily basis... dry hair is unhealthy hair & will break off like tree branches... Moisturized soft hair is healthy growing hair... I moisturize daily & have soft & manageable hair with little shredding.

[@chantelle2095]

Tracy C "LOC is an abbreviation for leave in conditioner, oil and cream. The name itself signifies the products a curly should apply as well as the order in which to apply them, making it an easy-to-remember curly routine."

[@TRACY5910]

Oh ok... thought you meant LOC as in dreads kayla ayan

[@brionni7]

Tracy C You are correct, there are variations of the LOC method. LOC=Liquid + Oil+ Cream, but I've seen various people in the natural hair care community use a differing variation of the noted process.

[@cenalover159]

omg i freakin love this.... all you see is a bunch of women doing natural hair videos and its awesome to see a guy doing it for a change =]]

[@PBobs-Lvall]

I like to stick with what works for me. And I do this method.

[@KingChameleonsEye]

Swing those hair clips baby! Lol great video.

[@jrockdude18]

you better swing them clips hunty! #UK #NYC

[@itsmelody1284]

OMG! im like in love...you are filled with knowledge and im just sitting here like a sponge..Thank you!

[@listeninward]

I've watched countless videos on how to keep my hair moisturized, and I have to say.. This one was the most informative~! Thanks so much!

[@TressesOfAlexis]

I'm quite heavy handed. I'm going to try this method and see how it works for me!!! Thanks

[@Shay45]

Omg I never thought about using clips to weigh the hair down

[@coilsoflove2012]

I was waiting for you to whip your hair around like that lol. I have low porosity hair and that is the exact same thing I do, I dampen my hair allow the water to soften my hair then add the next product. When you are truly observing your hair, you will be able to take tid bits here and there and figure what is for you and what's not. Your spirit through the camera touches my soul. Be blessed 😘

[@kelliew.4285]

Thanks Im going to try the keeping hair taught tip as well as working from front to back. The back of my hair is low porosity so may need more time.

[@sandriamiddleton2904]

Thank you so very much for your explaining and getting straight to the point of the subject matter yet being very informative, professional and realistic.😇🙏🏾👌🏾😇

[@frankeylimon324]

You look tf goodt! Got me watching 6 yr old videos after recently subscribing 🧡

[@showmuchlove]

I am so in love with you! I am so happy you shared the other channels too. Thank you for the extra tip about the water. I really needed that info. This takes me back to the 70's when we were all Afro's & natural it was all I ever knew. Styles come and go and I wasn't waiting on bellbottoms but, sooooooooooo HAPPY for our Fros and natural hair.

[@Luciousflavour1]

Will definitely try this on my daughter's hair. Great advice and you can't actually see the difference in your hair from start to finish with your moisturizing technique

[@MarleneMotivates]

Question. What kind of oil do you recommend. My hair is fine. And they say all the oils are the best. Im thinking jojoboa. But would like to know what you think?

[@tnoah15]

Light oils are best for fine textures like jojoba, grapeseed, rice bran, avocado, carrot oil

[@Dollsanity]

Your explanation is clear. Enjoyed the video, very informative.

[@msteaguer1908]

I found you from the side bar. You stating to let the moisture in before oil & products is the 1st I've heard. I have got to see more of you & LHA. Thank you.

[@Yellowblues3]

Man, that's some good hair. :) Very helpful. Thank you.

[@estiedeluxe]

Great insights. Thanks a lot. How do you maintain your moisture after working out? I still struggle with this aspect as a naturalista with Crochet braids or other protective styles. I do work out 3 times a week and it would be great if you could shed more light on this 😊

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Retaining moisture isn't s problem for me. Do you sweat a lot with your workouts? If so you may need to rinse that salt out of your hair or do a gentle cleanse a little more often

[@estiedeluxe]

@@AfrikanHairGod thank you so much for your quick response. Yes I do sweat a lot. I'll keep this in mind next time. Should I use only water to rinse it off? Or shampoo?I guess it makes a huge difference once the scalp is clean. Would you advise me to moisturise my scalp every time I wash? Thanks in advance ☺

[@AfrikanHairGod]

@@estiedeluxe try just rinsing your hair with warm water first and see if it benefits your hair and scalp. You may need to shampoo your hair more frequently to rid excessive sweat and salt. And yes your need to moisturize and condition hair and possibly oil your scalp if you need to

[@estiedeluxe]

Thank you so much . You are so kind 🙏🏾

[@cataleyadiazdelbosque3685]

Yes!!!! I still need to find a leave in that my hair likes. So far I use water. Shea butter then a jojoba/peppermint oil mixture. Every single day! This makes a huge difference for hair growth!

You made some excellent points in this video that I'll be definitely be using in my hair regimen

[@KeveryKat]

omg i luvvvv that end part, turn-smile-and-"BLESSED, BYYYEEE!!!", super-CUTE!!!

[@justinehorton2527]

So I just started doing this with just shampoo, a leave in conditioner, and and not oil, but I use Shea Moisture hold and shine mist. My hair stays soft for at least 3 days before I decide to moisturize again. I use a little bit of oil the day before washing it on damp hair as a treatment. I think my hair is normal to high porosity.

[@keyshamiller1352]

[@Insightful_Locs]

Your hair is so beautiful

[@thebeezkneezz]

as far as water is concerned.. You should use warm water to open the hair shaft.. the water and conditioner will stay in after the oil is applied..

[@therapeuticoutlet]

thank you. Such a pleasant video🙂

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@atlmprof1]

I wish you could do Laverne Cox's hair. I'm so in her corner for being a proud trans advocate, but I hate to see all the wigs and bleaching.

[@islandn8tion]

Im doing a two year hair journey... only using vaseline and water... I think vaseline is the best moisturizer

[@Anni619]

hows it working out? Isn't petroleum based cream meant to be bad?

[@islandn8tion]

So far very good.

Oh my lord your so right about combing a piece of hair then letting it go.It does cause more tangled,because it happened to me Thank-you for the hair tip

I wish I knew how to reply to other comments but I digress! Listen, your video made perfect sense...I just wish I could develop the discipline to do my own hair. Moisture is so important.
